Sitting in nosebleed seats as a boy, he was dazzled by Patti LuPone vamping through the opening number “I Get a Kick Out of You” in “Anything Goes” for Lincoln Center Theater; he then promptly fell asleep. From other musicals he graduated to serious drama like “Angels in America,” though mostly he went to school plays featuring Maggie, now 34.

Sounds like he's retreated from movie star ambitions and is trying to save face.

[quote]“Around the time I hit 30, I asked myself if I was respecting acting as a craft,” he continued, frequently brushing his fingers through his thick hair, free of its black-on-black Yankees cap, “and if I was doing the right projects that deserved my attention and where I’m learning in a way that you might not feel at 15. So now it’s like I look at acting more as building little delicate cricket cages, with care and more thought.”

The question isn't how many movies he's filming, but whether they'll be a-list hits. As was pointed out in a recent thread, Eric Roberts has filmed 40 movies the last few years, all straight to video. Gyllenhaal isn't straight-to-video yet, but he ain't a-list anymore either.

I think so too.

His bearding was so extraordinarily full-on, maybe still is, he really painted himself into a corner. Maybe he's getting to an age and place where he just doesn't care any more. I don't think he ever owed anyone explanations but the faux bearding I think has done him a disservice for years. It will have cost a fortune and been a headache to go through. It's also been a waste of time.

I should add I think he's a good guy in the wrong profession. He seems good with people and would have done far better in comedy or as a writer, a cook or a humanitarian.

I think he's dug his heels in trying to prove himself an 'actor' over the years and it hasn't really worked. He's not bad, just average, though Bubble Boy and Donnie Darko were his standout performances and both were really strong.

R17 I agree with you. In his quest to be a super A-list leading man and franchise movie star, he stupidly agreed to his PR's team (and probably his mother's) bearding ideas. The bearding with Witherspoon was never totally believable even though they worked hard at it. But the constant photo ops overexposed him in a bad way. The ridiculous attempt to beard with Swift just ruined any crediblity he had left. Even people who thought Jake was straight didn't buy him and Swift "dating". He seems to have come to his senses and is doing smaller movies and no bearding. I think he's a good actor and would do well as a popular actor if he would just be himself. I doubt he will ever come out though. He may be taking baby steps towards a glass closet, but admitting out loud he's gay? Never. Witherbitch and his mother wouldn't allow it.

Yes of course every hot actor is speculated to be gay on DL. However, Gyllenhaal's professed heterosexuality does seem a bit fishy. And many actors are closeted, a higher percentage than the general population.

Not really, r21. I had proof a few years ago. I got rid of it because I wasn't concerned with making someone else's biz a big deal.

R24 fucking and sleeping are two different things. One could sleep with a straight man under certain circumstances.

Fucking him would prove gay, sleeping would not.

I don't think he is gay, but he did showmance to prove he wasn't. That lead to overexposure in the media and he didn't have the films to back it up. People just got bored and new, younger, hotter stars came along and replaced him, he just moved on.

It is very hard to maintain a constant A-list career in modern times. Very few have done it.

So if he's so straight why would he over the top beard with Witherspoon and attempt to beard with Taylor Swift? The Swift thing made him a laughingstock and he's still the butt of jokes about it. What straight guy would have been desperate enough to look straight to book that US Weekly front page Thanksgiving photo shoot and look like an asshole.

Something to remember in regards to his psychology and recent behavior: his parents are broke and deeply in debt.....SO his desperation to become an A-List action star was probably also fueled by their financial needs. Maybe he is growing up and learning their divorce and problems aren't his fault and responsibility.

I love how the Roundabout initially said the only way to see Jake's new play was to subsribe to their new season........then a partial season subscription would suffice.....then they said all tickets are $100.

How long before it hits TKTS? Certainly they cannot have the subscriber base they used to have; I would think those who have not died have either moved to Florida or realized their retirement income carries them a lot less than furter than they thought.

No, in this case it's because a drunken, has-been gossip writer bought into some delusional fangurl slashfic involving Jake and a male friend of his, and turned it into one of EOnline's most legendary noms de gossip, Toothy Tile. While none of it was remotely real -- fucking in cars inside shopping mall parking garage! lord! -- it was enough to spur the fantasies of many a DLer, already primed to think that way about Jake after seeing him get buttfucked in "BBM."

Hollywood Matchmaking: Jake & Jessica

God Jake Gyllenhaal looked handsome last night at opening night of his off-Broadway play If There Is I Havenât Found It Yet. I mean, Iâm not into the beard, but even that beard canât take away from how attractive he is. Speaking of that beard - while women may not be feeling it, do you know how much beard envy heâs getting from the men? Almost every dude I talked to at TIFF was all about Jakeâs beard.

Anyway, Jessica Chastain was also there last night. And since Iâm obsessed with setting up famous people and finding the right (imaginary) combinations, Iâve now decided that Jake is perfect for her and they should totally be together. She has the credentials, as you know, and now that heâs stopped trying to be a Disney action hero and is choosing smaller projects and stage opportunities, looking for more interesting work, they could be a creative powerhouse.

On either side, on stature and standing, itâs an equal draw too. You could say, given his recent romantic resume, that sheâs actually an upgrade. And there would be benefits to both on profile. Jake hasnât had a significant attachment since Taylor Swift (OMG that was two years ago already?) and coming back with a respected acclaimed actor like Jessica Chastain is a strong move. As for Jessica, though sheâs well known to everyone in the industry, it wouldnât hurt to get a love bump to grow public awareness.

An average actor. Not especially attractive.

Only reason he's gotten as far as he has is because his parents were already working in Hollywood. If he had moved to Hollywood from Bumfuck after high school, he'd have the occasional under-five part while waiting tables and working Santa Monica Blvd to pay his rent.

His sister Maggie is a far better actress.
